‘Shameless’ Season 4 Trailer: Family Chaos Is the Status Quo

Both of Showtime's Sunday dramas 'Masters of Sex' and 'Homeland' have said their goodbyes for 2013, though it won't be long before we have at least 'Shameless' and 'House of Lies' to keep us warm, while the final season of 'Californication' has been pushed to April. The first season 4 trailer for 'Shameless' has arrived, so what new family chaos pushes the Gallaghers around in 2014?

While it remains to be seen if 'Shameless' will offer any follow-up on its apparent decision to kill off Jimmy (Justin Chatwin), the first official preview of season 4 begins with a recap of the events that closed out season 3, particularly Frank's (William H. Macy) debilitating illness. This time around, a bit of time has passed to settle into the new status quo, between Fiona's (Emmy Rossum) new job and Lip's (Jeremy Allen White) move to college

Of course, what would a season of 'Shameless' be without the requisite fights, police encounters and drug abuse, as Frank finds one conveniently illegal method to circumvent his inability to drink?

Check out the first official trailer for 'Shameless' season 4 above, and tell us if you'll tune in for the January 12 premiere!
